  Q: How to service and repair the water pump on Ford Explorer Sport?

  A: The water pump service requires drainage of the engine cooling system as the first step. The procedure starts by taking off the accessory Drive Belt followed immediately by removing the belt idler pulley. You should slide the bypass hose clamp then detach the water pump heater hose after releasing the clamp and removing the hose. Proceed with the lower radiator hose disconnection at the water pump after releasing the clamp and extracting the hose. The next steps involve taking off both the water pump pulley followed by the actual removal of the water pump. The sealing surfaces need cleaning by applying a metal surface cleaner through the use of suitable plastic or wooden scrapers. The opposite step from uninstallation should be followed for final installation.
